I’m a cheerleader and today at practice my coach was spotting me on a skill and I somehow kicked his elbow and ever since then my achilles tendon has been really sore and it hurts to walk on it or stretch it out. I’ve iced it and rested it but it still hurts, should I be worried?
Don’t push it too hard if it still hurts to walk. It is possible that you damaged your achilles tendon, but if you CAN walk, its probably not that bad. If it doesn’t seem to be improving in 4-6 days, go see a doctor.
